Erick Rene Magana, 25, was fatally shot on the evening of August 13, 2020, near 100 S. Soto St. in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. The Medical Examiner‑Coroner recorded multiple gunshot wounds and the death was classified as a homicide; he was pronounced dead at the scene despite attempts to save him.

Witnesses reported hearing gunshots and seeing a vehicle speed away from the area, and investigators described the shooting as involving multiple rounds, suggesting a targeted attack. The Los Angeles Police Department opened a homicide investigation but the initial inquiry produced no arrests, and lack of cooperation from potential witnesses hampered progress.

Family and friends have held vigils and community events to keep Erick’s memory alive while the LAPD has periodically revisited the file. No arrests or significant developments have been announced and the case remains open. If anyone has information about that evening or the vehicle seen leaving the scene, please contact the LAPD.
